Hungary go down memory lane to deny Iceland (Reuters)

Having been in soccer's doldrums for nearly half a century, Hungary are a whisker away from reaching the Euro 2016 knockout stages after a patient and almost forgotten approach bore fruit in a 1-1 draw against Hungary on Saturday. The Hungarians, who finished fourth in the 1972 European Championship after reaching the last eight in the 1966 World Cup, at times rekindled memories of the famous generation of players who reached the 1954 World Cup final. Captain Balazs Dzsudzsak, the team’s most talented player, would not have looked out of place in the teams of the legendary Ferenc Puskas, whose “light cavalry” instilled primal fear in the hearts of traditional soccer heavyweights in the 1950s and early 1960s.
